In 1775, Patrick Henry famously said, “Give me liberty or give me death.” The founders of our country were mostly Christian men who understood that liberty meant Christian liberty. But how much was their faith a part of our founding?

An accurate knowledge of our history is critical if we are to ever recover our nation’s heritage. Listen as Mike unearths the truth about, and the importance of, the faith of our founders.
